HS_COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH

Default value:	0
Range of values:	0 to 255

HS_COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH has the same function as the Oracle8i parameter COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH.

Set HS_COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH to a value relative to the importance of the site that will be the commit point site in a distributed transaction. The Oracle database server or non-Oracle system with the highest commit point strength becomes the commit point site. To ensure that a non-Oracle system never becomes the commit point site, set the value of HS_COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH to zero.

HS_COMMIT_POINT_STRENGTH is important only if the non-Oracle system can participate in the two-phase protocol as a regular two-phase commit partner and as the commit point site. This is only the case if the transaction model is two-phase commit confirm (2PCC).
